# 3.12 Add resources from Market

Use Market to discover and select resources. You can also create business areas, employees, and skills locally on their respective pages. New resources do not all have to come through Market.

## Understand how resources work together

Both the marketplace website and Market in the workbench organize resources into four main categories: **AI employees**, **AI teams**, **Apps** and **Skills**. All combines resources across categories; it is not a fifth resource type. See the marketplace [guide](https://market.teloa.ai/en/guide/) for choosing resources, preparing them for work and a content marketing example.

- **AI teams** are team templates that organize several employees, skills, reference materials, connections and task templates for a business use case. Check each template for its actual contents. A template with a single employee is listed under **AI employees**.
- **Dashboards** provide a complete business configuration at a fixed version, including objects, views, widgets, dashboards and pages, and are listed under AI teams. A team template can reference one too. Adding it prepares a draft for you to preview and adopt personally.
- **AI employees** take on long-lived, defined responsibilities. They use skills, authorized materials and connected tools to carry out work.
- **Apps** organize skills and connections as a single resource or a package with declared, fixed contents. Check the details for the actual contents.
- **Skills** provide specific working methods. You can browse and add them independently, and they can also be part of an app package.
- **Models** supply reasoning or specialist processing and are configured separately in Settings > Models. Adding a template does not silently switch models.
- **Work groups** support communication with your employees. An **execution team** coordinates temporary work on a task without creating new permanent employees.

Start with a team or an employee, or add resources to an existing business area from Apps or Skills. After completing setup, describe a goal in a conversation or work group and follow acceptance, progress and results. Adding a template, preparing its resources and starting execution are separate stages: “added” does not mean a task has started.

## Browse and import

[![The marketplace categories are AI employees, AI teams, Apps and Skills, with entries for added content and app management.](https://docs.teloa.ai/v/0.2.12/assets/screenshots/en/market-024.324853296f4d.png)](https://docs.teloa.ai/v/0.2.12/assets/screenshots/en/market-024.324853296f4d.png)

*0.2.4 actual interface with example data. The marketplace categories are AI employees, AI teams, Apps and Skills, with entries for added content and app management.*

Select **Create** at the top right for the full menu: **Create AI employee**, **Create AI team**, **Create skill**, **Create app**, **Import template** and **Import skill**. Skill and app creation continue in the workbench for editing and enablement. **Import template** reads a file (ZIP, JSON, and recipe.json are supported), a pasted template JSON, or GitHub, and saves only employee and team templates. **Import Skill** reads a single skill directory that contains `SKILL.md`.

Open a resource's details and review its purpose, contents, version, and dependencies. Before importing, confirm that it fits the current business area. Review the objects that the preview will add or link, then complete the import.

A business resource package may contain employees, skills, materials, and task templates. Employees imported from industry packages start paused. Open Employees to verify their resources and tool permissions before making them active.

## Market categories and the official catalog

In the Teloa workbench, Market has four main categories at the top: AI employees, AI teams, Apps and Skills, plus All as an aggregate view. A template with one employee is listed under AI employees; team templates with several employees, and business dashboards, are listed under AI teams. You can browse and add skills individually, while an app package can contain skills and connections; the same skill can appear in both views. An app pack can install all of its skills at once, but it does not automatically connect accounts, give employees access or start execution. Added · N at the top right summarizes what you have added, and the Create menu offers creating an AI employee, AI team, skill or app, importing a template, and importing a skill.

Choose **My apps and skills** at the top of Marketplace to manage installed methods and connections. Its Recommended, All and My apps entries remain available for adding resources. This management entry serves a different purpose from the marketplace discovery categories.

Filter by Purpose, or search for employees, teams, or the work you want done. When install data is available, sort by Default, Most installed, or Trending. Official catalog entries show the catalog version, compatibility, and source.

**AI employees.** A card lists the employee's duties, its source template, and the skills it requires. Select Create employee to see What you get first: only this employee with its methods and materials is added, not the other employees in the same team. After you select Confirm and add, its methods are installed for this employee, the employee stays paused, and app connections and permissions still need your separate confirmation. The card then reads Created, paused by default, and afterwards Already added with a view action, which it keeps after a refresh. Adding it again does not create a second employee. If anything is unfinished, the card offers Continue adding and does not repeat finished parts. If you already have a method with the same name but different content, the employee is not added until you resolve that method. Check its duties, materials, and tool permissions, then resume it from the Employees page.

**Models.** A model entry that appears in search results is connection guidance only. It holds no API key and does not call the model for you. Each card shows the network requirement (Direct in mainland China, or Needs overseas network), a price band (low, mid, or high; aggregators show varies by model), and model names. Expand Source and license to see the terms link and license tier (Commercial use allowed, or Restricted use). Select Configure to open Settings > Models and enter the provider's API key there. Prices and context lengths follow the provider's current documentation.

You can also ask in a conversation, for example "add a SOC triage analyst for me". An employee resource shows a confirmation card first and creates the employee only after you confirm. A model resource only returns guidance to configure it in Settings and makes no changes.

## Other sources and recommendations

Some entries come from reviewed outside sources such as GitHub and ClawHub; the card names the source and where its install count comes from. Being listed does not mean every resource from that source is included.

Other sources on a resource card lists related resources that can currently be viewed, with the recommendation first. Selecting a recommendation opens its details without adding or installing it. Going back preserves the original filters and search. Resources marked “Source reference only; cannot be added” are provided for provenance and cannot be installed from the card.

When an existing connection has an official replacement, its connection page shows a recommendation. Review the details, then add, configure and verify the new connection as needed. Registration or saved settings alone do not mean it is connected. Keys or authorizations, and employee permissions, must be configured again. Once the new connection works, you can disconnect and delete the old one yourself; Teloa does not automatically transfer permissions or remove the old connection.

## Readiness and one-click setup

After you load a template, open its details and choose "See what it brought in". The "A few more steps before it works" panel sits below the details header. The first line, "x of y items to prepare are ready", counts only items that are ready, available for one-click setup, need you, or are in progress. Task templates and recurring plans are "Use when needed" items and are not part of the total.

- **Set up in one click**: shown only when some items are available for one-click setup. It first lists what it will do inside the page, grouped as enable knowledge, install skills, register connections and create employees, and runs only after you choose Confirm. Skills from the official catalog that are reviewed, contain only text and images, and need no network or execution tools install with one click; the confirmation lists each of them as "Installs with one click: name (publisher, license, …)". It then shows "Done a, in progress b, needs you c, failed d"; an employee that was created but stays paused because its linked items are not ready counts under "needs you". If something is still in progress, run it again to finish; running it again with no change to the checklist does nothing.
- **Employees**: one click only activates employees created in this run whose linked knowledge, skills and connections are all ready. Activating an employee also turns on its daily summary. An employee whose linked items are not ready stays paused after it is created. An employee that was already paused is never resumed automatically; the panel lists it under "Paused employees; review and resume them yourself".
- **Needs you**: skills with scripts, skills that need network or execution tools, skills not from the official catalog, extensions, connections that need keys or authorization, and items that failed are outside one-click. Each group is one line of titles with an Open button that switches to the matching group of the template, where you finish them with the existing controls; the panel refreshes as you install skills one by one in the Skills group.
- **Use when needed**: choose Open on a task template to create a task from it. Recurring plans consume model quota on every run, so you turn them on yourself.

You can also say "prepare the Knowledge and research template for me" in your own regular conversation. The assistant reads the readiness checklist first, then shows one confirmation card. The card lists the titles it will complete by group, lists each skill that installs with one click with its publisher and license, and states that the daily summary is turned on, that paused employees are not resumed, and that keys and authorization are entered only in the page and never sent in the conversation. After you allow it, the result matches the panel. Asking "is it ready?" afterwards only reads the checklist and shows no card. One-click setup is refused in task-run conversations and sub-tasks.

## Check whether a resource is ready

**Skill keys:** configure supported, installed skills that declare required keys by opening the skill under **Marketplace > My apps and skills** and choosing **Keys**. The model cannot read raw values through key interfaces. Teloa encrypts keys and injects them only for the declared targets. See [skill API key configuration](https://docs.teloa.ai/v/0.2.12/markdown/en/deploy/configuration.md#skill-api-keys) for storage, network limits, write approval and employee permissions.

The five candidates—X Search, Finance Search, Macro Data, CellCog and CellCog Image Generation—remain `unsupported`. Entering a key cannot enable them. Availability of the feature does not establish approval of a particular resource; check the support status in its details.

| Status or symptom | What to check |
| --- | --- |
| Added | Open the relevant management page to check links and configuration |
| Missing dependencies | Add the required resources listed by the package first |
| Version conflict | Compare existing content with the new version; do not overwrite local changes without reviewing them |
| Connection incomplete | Configure keys or authorization on the connection page and test it |

## Update and unload an added template

Open **Marketplace > Added** (or the template details) to find update comparison and unload actions. For an employee package, preview material bodies and versions before deciding to keep using them.

**Update:** choose a new version, review the impact preview, and confirm which employees, materials, skills, connections and plans are carried over or replaced. Updates preserve employee identity, history, deliverables and local materials. Shared materials, shared skills and running plans block unsafe replacement. Confirmed updates switch on the server and leave a receipt; a failure rolls back instead of leaving a half-applied configuration.

**Unload:** the preview lists instances that will be detached and local objects that remain. Running plans, task runs and pending approvals block unload; finish or stop that work and retry. After confirmation, the loaded template no longer supplies active execution lineage: data-source, execution-tool, MCP-connection and plugin instances are detached and related plans are paused. Employees, knowledge, tasks and historical deliverables remain; unload does not delete your local data. Retrying the same request reuses the original unload receipt and does not repeat the operation.

## Export and share

AI employees, AI teams, apps and skills use the same sharing preview. Open **Share** on the relevant object, review all files, provenance and licenses, then choose **Export offline template**. **Publish share link** opens the Teloa marketplace account page, where you sign in, inspect what will become public, and explicitly publish. Return to the workspace to copy the resulting link.

Recipients preview the link, explicitly add their own copy, and configure accounts and permissions. Imports do not inherit the publisher’s keys, conversations or grants. The publisher can **Revoke link** to prevent further receiving from that link; this cannot retrieve files others have already saved. Cancelling an online action preserves its draft. Reconcile an unconfirmed response using the original request rather than publishing again. File export remains available when the online service is temporarily unavailable.

**Business dashboards:** after adding a dashboard or a team template containing one, choose its target business area in the details. A new area receives a separate configuration. For an existing area, explicitly choose object mappings before preparing a configuration draft. Preview its records and dashboard pages, then adopt it personally. The resource does not replace existing fields or records. Incompatible fields, computations or references block adoption; Teloa does not guess data mappings. Dashboards calculate from currently saved business records. External alert connections, sync rules and employee tool permissions require separate setup.

The business page's sharing entry exports the authoritative configuration currently saved by the host. A dashboard resource includes objects, views, widgets, dashboards and pages with complete internal references. It excludes real records, keys, external source mappings, default business actions and existing permissions. After downloading a package or fixing it in the local market, the recipient still prepares a draft, previews it and adopts it. Downloading does not publish it to the official market.

The new SOC alert dashboard resource is not published and cannot be installed from the official catalog. The current release supports creating, previewing and adopting business configurations. Check each published template for its actual dashboard contents. Other industry examples explain composition and do not establish package availability.

When using the available export or package-sharing features, check whether the package contains private materials, keys, or templates that are not yours. Before sharing externally, import it into an isolated environment once to verify that its resources are complete.

Online sharing and submission to the official catalog are separate actions. A public share link does not automatically list the resource in the official marketplace. See [edition support](https://docs.teloa.ai/v/0.2.12/markdown/en/reference/editions.md) for paid distribution and private marketplaces.

Resource authors can read the [business resource package format](https://docs.teloa.ai/v/0.2.12/markdown/en/develop/packages.md).

For file export, online publication, receipt, continued addition, revocation and authoring examples across all four categories, see [sharing and receiving](https://docs.teloa.ai/v/0.2.12/markdown/en/guides/sharing.md).
